  • Contractors working for Lambeth Council begin the controversial conversion of carnegie Library into a gym, by pouring concrete into the Grade II listed building, on 18th December 2017, in Herne Hill, south London, England. Shut by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in April, the library which was bequeathed by American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary even though 24hr security make it more expensive to keep closed than open for the local community. A gym that locals say they don't want or need is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it.

  • The statue of Sir Thomas Guy stands outside the historical entrance of Guys hospital, on 9th June 2020, in London, England. Thomas Guy (1644 – 1724) was British bookseller, speculator and founder of Guy's Hospital, London whose links to the global slave trade is now a controversial aspect of this businessman by anti-slavery activists and more recently, Black Lives Matter protesters. His wealth came through shares in the South Sea Company whose main business was in the selling of slaves from Africa to the Spanish colonies. In 1720 he successfully sold his stock of the company for approx £400 million (at today's prices) and amassed a large fortune, opening the Guy's Hospital  in 1725 which today serves as one of  the capital's major NHS healthcare centres. In the aftermath of the George Floyd protests in the US and UK Black Lives Matter groups who are calling for the removal of statues and street names with links to the slave trade, Guy's and other statues of British slavery owners and profiteers, have become a focus of impassioned protest.

  • Contractors working for Lambeth Council begin the controversial conversion of carnegie Library into a gym, by pouring concrete into the Grade II listed building, on 18th December 2017, in Herne Hill, south London, England. Shut by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in April, the library which was bequeathed by American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary even though 24hr security make it more expensive to keep closed than open for the local community. A gym that locals say they don't want or need is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it.

  • An physical education instructor tests an army recruit for concussion after a bout of Milling, a test of aggression that  recruits must pass before qualifying as a paratrooper in the Para Regiment of the British Army, on 23rd July 1996, at Aldershot, England. The controversial Milling tradition unique to the Paras is a test for young men to prove they have a killer spirit by a timed gloved one-to-one boxing fight. Within that time, they have to punch as fiercely as possible, often resulting in blooded noses and temporary concussion.

  • Two pedestrians cross the cobbled Rua Sa da Bandeira, followed closely by a pair of Segway riding tourists, on 21st July, in Porto, Portugal. Segway tours have become controversial additions to the European city sightseeing scene, already being banned in Barcelona and Prague. But in Portuguese cities like Lisbon and Porto, Segway travellers still share narrow and busy streets and often, pavements, with locals on foot.

  • The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair MP, as Leader of the Opposition, stares in deep thought whilst on a train en-route to an evening Labour Party rally in Nottingham, 2 years before his victory in the 1997 General Election that eventually made him British Prime Minister. Blair is with an unknown Downing Street assistant and is has been reading the London Evening Standard newspaper in the First Class carriage at a time when fellow-passengers take little notice of the future controversial world statesman. Then, he could travel in relative obscurity, without large security details. Blair is wearing a blue shirt with a sober, patterned tie and his hair is still dark without the greyness that would appear rapidly when the pressures of office prematurely aged him. It is dark outside and we see no detail through the window of the vast Victorian mainline station outside.

  • The artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) sits on the steps of her best-known sculpture called 'House'. 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). It won Whiteread the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' at a close distance with graffiti painted on the walls stating the words "Wot for ..why not!" before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • Entrance of the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they don't want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and it's believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.
